so after the last update on ps4 i was finally able to get the nyx chassis and i started using her last night and pretty much fell in love. I tried all of her abilities but I am looking to focus my build mainly on absorb with chaos second and i will be polarizing the other 2 slots.

Ive done a little reading but was hoping for some feedback in here as to what i should prioritize for mods and where her true talent lies.

Not too much duration, or your teammates will just kill everything around you while you're still absorbing.

Either Continuity or Constition alone are enough, IMO. Also, add Stretch for range.

 Throw in a streamline and maybe a fleeting expertise say rank 2?

 

Thatll give you 50% effiency and 38% duration

 

or instead of fleeting get her vespa helmet

thats 45% effeincy with a total of 58% duration

i already knew i was going to go with minimum duration because i do not want to be in absorb for over 10 seconds. I was thinking of prioritizing strength and efficency over duration and range.

how much of an impact does strength increase have on absorb? is it multiplied by your mod set and the actual damage taken or one or the other?

If you cap FE and use the Vespa helm you don't need streamline, letting you free up another slot.

 

Strength only affects the base damage of absorb; it has NO effect if you take enough damage to pass the base threshold.

 

I use http://goo.gl/7ydYS4 for some energy regen not dependant on orb RNG, when using CP aura. With ES aura, I use equil and vigor instead of Rage and vital for a little self healing.

Power Strength affects the minimum damage but does not affect the absorbed damage.

The Wiki is your friend.

http://warframe.wikia.com/wiki/Nyx_%28Warframe%29

Here is a good description I found for how strength affects absorb.

The way this power works is that when it is used your damage counter starts at 0 and then starts to increase as the sheild takes damage. At the ended of the duration it will deal the damage that has been absorbs but if it doesn't absorbs the minimum amount of damage (which at max lvl is 1500 mag damage) it will deal the min damage instead. Example: you absorb 100 points of damage you will deal 1500 mag damage instead while if you were to absorb 3000 damage you will deal 3000 mag damage.

This is one of the reasons I prefer speccing for Chaos over Absorb and using Absorb as a Panic button to protect an ally or defense target.

Well this is what use:

 

http://goo.gl/zZuNLq

 

And I find it perfect. Longest range on absorb and chaos, good duration (absorb ~7seconds, chaos ~17), efficiency cap, nice shields and health, and I personally love my nyx with rush, but you can use whatever you want instead of it.

It affects only the base 1000 damage, not the absorbed. And as another tip. Get a carrier because of the sweeper as it will add a ton of damage dealed.

 

Edit:

If you have not put any forma on your nyx you can use it on the ability slot of Psychic Bolts and get even more points if you want to run with something istead of rush.

without mind control i like that alot, i havent formaed her yet but I will be tonight, just gathering ideas and feedback to see which direction I want to go. I will be dropping rush which will probably end up gong to vigor or flow

At low levels the damage of absorb will make a difference but at higher levels the bulk of the damage should come directly from your enemies, so I don't think power strength is a priority. Range is very important for absorb because it counteracts the damage falloff (the damage decreases the farther away the enemy is).

I threw in mind control because I had the space and I've find I very usefull agains leaders, it lasts about 20 seconds.

 

Vigor could help there with even more health and shields. I personally main Loki and have find the to keep mobile is the way I stay alive in most cases that's why I like going fast but there's not real use of flow in there as even spamming your abilities you won't run out of energy with the default pool.

can I get some feedback on this 

 

http://goo.gl/8RLNxO

 

Im not sure about the need for intesify there or if I should forma again

I woudln't use it, your damage drops from 1050 to 600 without it, but your really high damage on Absorb comes from the damage you receibe while on it.

 

But yet I don't see the need of another forma, just move continuity to that polarity and you have 11 points left to any mod you like.

This is my build which is focused more on Chaos and Absorb's knockback/CC. Takes some getting used to but works very well at high level defense.

Your link is broken.

 

Edit:

Found the problem, there is a blank space at the end in conjuntion with the link. http://warframe-builder.com/Warframes/Builder/Nyx/t_30_12001130443_1-8-10-2-7-10-4-2-5-8-10-5-14-1-1-46-3-5-55-6-5-57-9-5-96-0-3-98-5-3-99-4-3_96-2-14-3-4-9-46-11-99-7-98-5-55-6-2-12-1-7-57-8-8-14_40/en/1-0-14/0'>This should work.
